Origin and history

The Château des Planches is an 18th-century building located in Amblie, Calvados department, Normandy. Built between 1785 and 1789 by Dominique-Nicolas du Buisson de Courson, it replaces an older building. This classical style castle was renovated under the Restoration, and its facades and roofs, as well as those of the communes, the pavilions, the leak and the well, were inscribed in historical monuments by order of 17 May 1982.

The monument is located south of the hamlet of Les Planches, east of Creully, and its exact address is 3 Chemin des Planches, at the border between Amblie and Ponts sur Seulles. The castle is associated with a domain including dependencies and protected architectural elements, reflecting the importance of this type of aristocratic residence in the region at the end of the Old Regime. Its architecture and history make it a notable testimony to the Norman heritage.

The Château des Planches is mentioned in the lists of historical monuments of Calvados and castles of France, highlighting its heritage interest. Although practical information on its visit or current use is not specified in the sources, its official registration and location make it a remarkable site in Lower Normandy, now integrated into the Normandy region.
